Chapter 107: Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!
"Are you going to rebel?"

On the Taotai, Jiajing roared angrily, and his whole face was distorted.

After the roar, Jiajing couldn't stop shaking all over.

Yan Song, Xu Jie and Gao Gong immediately turned around and knelt down under the Taotai.

Lu Fang and Huang Jin still stayed by the emperor's side, never leaving his side.

Huang Jin looked back at the emperor, tears almost coming out of his eyes.

"check!"

"Investigate this city of Beijing thoroughly!"

"No matter who it is, no matter why, investigate it for me!"

“Check! Check…”

"Check for me..."

After a burst of angry roar, Jiajing's voice gradually became weaker.

All his strength was gone and he staggered.

Lu Fang hurriedly turned around, held Jiajing, and then dragged the emperor slowly to sit on the platform with great effort.

After sitting down, Jiajing leaned against the table, with his head lowered and his hands trembling, but no one could tell what he was thinking.

Huang Jin's eyes were red and tears couldn't stop flowing.

"Bullying... wuwuwu... they are bullying..."

"They are all bullying Your Majesty for being a good person..."

Lu Fang glanced at Huang Jin, coughed lightly, and stopped Huang Jin from crying. Then he looked at Yan Song and the other two with gloomy eyes.

"Three elders, since something like this happened today, please stay in Yuxi Palace overnight."

This is what it should be.

Even though Yan Song and the other two had racked their brains, they still couldn't figure out how this incident happened.

At this moment, Lu Fang spoke on behalf of the emperor.

Yan Song, as the chief minister of the cabinet, also raised his head and said: "There has been a change in the Western Garden, Your Majesty is frightened, and there is chaos both inside and outside. As ministers of the cabinet, we should serve Your Majesty until the truth of the matter is revealed and Your Majesty is safe and stable."

No matter how they fight or argue with each other in their daily lives.

At this time, even Xu Jie and Gao Gong would tacitly give up their previous private disputes.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong also bowed and knelt.

"It is our duty, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

however.

Jiajing, who was on the Taotai, kept his head down and said nothing.

Outside the West Garden, there was already chaos and battle.

When Yan Shaoting, wearing armor and carrying a sword, rode his horse to the Xi'an Gate of Xiyuan.

This place has been blocked by the imperial guards in the Western Garden and the soldiers of the Five Cities Military Division outside.

There were also many officials from various government offices who had not been detained by the Jinyiwei in time. They gathered outside the Xi'an Gate and demanded to see the emperor and report on his safety in a righteous and eloquent manner.

Da da da.

The sound of horse hooves reached the Xi'an Gate. Soldiers, generals and officials all turned their heads to look at Yan Shaoting, who was riding on horseback wearing armor and carrying a sword.

There was confusion in everyone's eyes.

Naturally, everyone present knew Yan Shaoting, the current popular figure in the court and the favorite of the emperor.

But what is surprising is Yan Shaoting's outfit today.

In the past.

Everyone who sees Yan Shaoting sees him dressed neatly and looking like a treacherous villain.

I have never seen him wearing armor or carrying a sword.

how?

Is this little Yan Dang going to become a domineering general?

Facing the gazes of everyone present, Yan Shaoting ignored them, rode his horse forward through the crowd and arrived at the Xi'an Gate.

The commander of the imperial guards guarding the palace gate was confused as to what Yan Shaoting was up to, so he could only step forward, clasp his hands and say, "Reader Yan."

Yan Shaoting's eyes sank slightly: "I am wearing armor today, General, you called me by the wrong name."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a commotion outside the Xi'an Gate, and people were whispering among themselves.

The commander of the imperial guards also looked embarrassed and raised his head: "General Yan..., what are you going to do?"

"Enter the palace, meet the emperor, and protect His Majesty."

Yan Shaoting stated his purpose word by word in public.

The Imperial Guards generals' faces darkened when they heard this: "General Yan, the Western Garden already has our Imperial Guards to protect your Majesty's safety. Today, the Western Garden has an incident. No one is allowed to enter or leave without your Majesty's order."

Yan Shaoting narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is this a personal order from His Majesty?"

According to the information he received when he came here, Xiyuan has not issued any orders to the outside world so far.

The commander of the imperial guards looked embarrassed and hesitated, not knowing how to answer.

Yan Shaoting's eyes narrowed: "Open the palace gate, I will go before the emperor."

The generals of the imperial guards did not leave at all.

"General, we have not received any orders."

Snapped!
A whip cracked in the air.

"I am the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, and I am authorized by the emperor to serve the cabinet and walk in and out of the Western Garden. Today, something happened in the Western Garden. It is my duty to protect Your Majesty. Do you want to stop me?"

The commander of the imperial guards clasped his hands tightly, but the expression on his face relaxed a little.

"General, please don't make things difficult for us."

Yan Shaoting had already grasped the reins and rode forward: "I will take care of everything."

"General, walk slowly."

Snapped.

Yan Shaoting, who was sitting on horseback, threw the sword in his hand to the general of the Beijing army, and then went behind the palace gate.

The commander of the imperial guards finally stepped aside to make way, and waved his hand to signal the officers and soldiers of the imperial guards at the palace gate to open the gate.

Their attitude has shown that this is enough.

It was Yan Shaoting's forced request to enter the West Garden, and he would be responsible for any problems that occurred. It had nothing to do with them, the soldiers.

The clatter of horses' hooves.

Yan Shaoting quickly rode his horse into Xi'an Gate.

With the sound of a door closing and bolt being pulled, he completely disappeared from the sight of the officers and soldiers outside.

"We also want to see Your Majesty!"

"Why can Yan Shaoting enter the palace, but we can't?"

"Let us in, or we will impeach you for dereliction of duty!"

"..."

Watching Yan Shaoting enter the West Garden in full view of everyone.

The officials outside, who had been shouting for a long time, started arguing again.

The imperial guard general's face darkened and he swung the sword in his hand.

"Who dares to take another step forward?" As the general drew his sword, the imperial guards and soldiers behind him also stepped forward with short swords and long spears in their hands.

"retreat!"

"retreat!"

"retreat!"

When the officials saw the posture of the imperial guards, their faces turned pale and they retreated a long way in panic. Only then did they dare to continue clamoring to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

And in the surroundings, spies sent out by countless families were constantly passing messages back and forth.

The sound of gunfire in the capital completely threw everyone into disarray.

It is clearly a sunny summer day, but it feels like the coldest winter.

When Yan Shaoting rushed to Yuxi Palace, the young eunuch who received the news, asked for the sword from the imperial guards and took it back to Yuxi Palace to report, was still far behind.

Without waiting for the young eunuch to catch up and report.

Yan Shaoting had already knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, I am the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, Yan Shaoting. Upon hearing that something happened in the Western Garden, I rushed to the Western Garden to protect Your Majesty's safety."

He roared with full of energy.

It flowed straight from the front hall of Yuxi Palace to the back hall.

Yan Song, who had been kneeling before the emperor for a long time with Xu Jie and Gao Gong, frowned.

Xu Jie and Gao Gong turned their eyes and focused their attention on Yan Shaoting who had just arrived from outside.

Only Lu Fang glanced at Huang Jin, whose eyes were red, and then looked at the emperor, who kept his head down and remained silent.

"This tutor Yan is really something. There is nothing wrong in Yuxi Palace, so why is he in such a hurry to come and protect His Majesty?"

urgent.

Guard.

Lu Fang emphasized the tone of his voice.

That is to act according to the circumstances and be loyal.

After saying something to make up for Yan Shaoting, Lu Fang waited intently for the emperor to speak.

And outside.

Yan Shaoting, who was kneeling on one knee, was puzzled.

He walked all the way without figuring out what exactly happened today.

Things were already starting to go awry.

Just as he was thinking about it, a cry louder than the one he just heard came from behind him.

The newly appointed cabinet minister Yuan Wei was sweating profusely and looked panicked, and one of his boots even fell off.

He slid down and knelt beside Yan Shaoting in a hurry.

Yuan Wei glanced at Yan Shaoting sideways, also with a puzzled look on his face.

Then he immediately burst into tears and howled.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Highness Yuan Wei, I am late in protecting you!"

"Your Majesty, is the Holy Saint in good health?"

Yuan Wei cried so loudly that Yan Shaoting felt dizzy.

After crying for a while without any movement from inside, Yuan Wei slowly stopped crying.

Then he turned to look at Yan Shaoting with a puzzled look on his face.

"Reader Yan is here too?"

Yuan Wei asked in a very low voice.

Yan Shaoting nodded: "It is our duty to protect His Majesty's safety."

Yuan Wei's eyes turned and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! What Yan Shidu said makes sense! It is our duty to protect His Majesty's safety!"

When Yan Shaoting saw that Yuan Wei had lost one of his official boots, he thought about it and messed up his armor, pulled out the tassels inside, making his whole body a mess.

moment.

Yuan Wei, the new member of the cabinet, felt that he and Yan Shaoting were close friends.

At this moment.

Huang Jin, with red eyes, rubbed his eyes and stood in front of the two men.

"Master Yuan, Reader Yan."

Yan Shaoting and Yuan Wei looked up at Huang Jin with red eyes.

Huang Jin nodded: "His Majesty asked you to come in."

The two men immediately stood up and followed Huang Jin into the back hall of Yuxi Palace.

Yan Shaoting looked around.

There were imperial guards defending outside the palace, but there were only eunuchs inside the palace. It seemed that Yuxi Palace did not consider the worst possible situation.

Waiting until outside the inner hall.

Huang Jin silently took the sword from the young eunuch, looked up at Yan Shaoting, and walked into the inner hall with the sword.

Yan Shaoting and Yuan Wei walked side by side into the inner hall and arrived in front of the Taoist platform.

now.

Jiajing finally raised his head, his face gloomy, and looked at everyone present with his bloodshot eyes.

At last.

His gaze stopped on Yan Shaoting, who was covered in armor.

Jiajing sneered.

"How dare you break into Yuxi Palace wearing armor and carrying a sword."

Yan Shaoting immediately bowed his hands, clasped his fists, and knelt on one knee.

He said in a deep voice: "I am the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, appointed by your majesty. All the troops of the Shangzhi Qinjun are your majesty's personal troops. I heard that there was a change in the West Garden and your majesty's body was in danger. I dare not stop, for fear that your majesty would be in trouble. Moreover... I put down my sword outside the Xi'an Gate."

After all, bringing a knife into the palace is not a wise move.

Yan Shaoting’s main focus now is attitude.

The main point is loyalty.

Even Gao Gong, who wanted to use this as an opportunity to slander Yan Shaoting, had to admit that Yan Shaoting's approach was very appropriate.

It shows the attitude without violating the rules.

Jiajing suddenly laughed out loud.

He looked at Yan Shaoting, who was wearing neither armor nor clothes, and waved his finger at Yan Shaoting.

"I don't wear it on a normal day, and I'll look like a monkey when I put it on. Can it protect me?"

Say it.

Jiajing's eyes swept sinisterly over Gao Gong who had just raised his head.

He just snorted coldly.

"Even if you were protecting me, didn't we hear gunshots outside my West Garden?"
